Description:

Araneae is the embodiment of universal harmony, her followers believe that true happiness is achieved by acting in accord with the web of fate which can be observed through divination and that futilely struggling against this harmony leads to sorrow and pain, and fails to avert fate in any case. Araneae does not control fate, but she is able to perceive its twists, links and pattern through the great cosmic web which she spins in the heavens each night - the stars are the motes of knowledge she has captured from the ether. Humans can also come to glimpse fate through the webs of her children or by observing the heavens and can, thereby, live in harmony with it. Araneae is the patron of musicians who's productions reflect the universal song played by the mother of spiders as she dances across her cosmic web.

Araneae is most often depicted as a young woman clad in spider silk. Her temples are open to the sky and are filled with harmonic music and great webs which arc across the space within and which are used by her preistessess to divine the future for those who would glimpse their fates.
